The packet was designed to meet established curriculum objectives of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's Standard Course of Study. Three types of activities are included:(1) pre-visit classroom activities provide background and vocabulary development; (2) on-site activities conducted at the park; and (3) post-visit classroom activities to reinforce concepts, skills, and vocabulary. This learning experience exposes students to the major concepts of classes of rocks, physical properties of rocks and minerals, formation of rocks and minerals, weathering and erosion, geologic processes, rock and mineral identification, rock cycles, and geologic time. The packet contains an introduction to the geologic history of Pilot Mountain; an activity summary; pre-visit, on-site, and post-visit activity objectives and instructions; a glossary; a list of 14 references; a scheduling worksheet and program evaluation form; and instructions on conducting a daily meal production plan.

  • December 2015 Volume 2 Number 6 Susan Kluttzt Governor Secretary, DNCR Governor Launches Connect NC Campaign at Stone Mountain Gov
    DIGEST www.ncparks.gov Pat McCrory December 2015 Volume 2 Number 6 Susan Kluttzt Governor Secretary, DNCR Governor launches Connect NC campaign at Stone Mountain Gov. Pat McCrory’s launch of the $2 billion Connect NC bond campaign included a stop at Stone Moun- tain State Park Oct. 22, where he signed a ceremonial copy of the 2015 legislation and touted the proposal’s benefits to the state parks system. If approved by voters in March, the Connect NC bonds would direct $75 million to 45 projects in state parks, recreation areas and natural areas across North Carolina. The identified projects include: $20.8 million for new or improved visitor centers and community buildings in 11 parks; $18.8 million for new or expanded campgrounds and cabins in 12 parks; $21.3 million for other visitor facilities in 12 parks; and, $14.1 million for land acquisition at 10 park units. “Today, we are enjoying and benefiting from the invest- ments made by our parents and grandparents,” McCrory said. “New university and community college facilities and improved state parks are long-term investments that will support our growth and make North Carolina more attractive to businesses and residents.” The Governor spoke to a crowd of more than 100 support- ers along a trail below the granite face of Stone Mountain. He introduced Robert Orr, former associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, who heads a bipartisan committee to advocate for passage of the bond referendum. A complete overview of the Connect NC bond proposal is at www.connect.nc.gov.

Joseph Hyde Fratt, State Geologist LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Chapel Hill, N. C., May 22, 1918. To his Excellency, Honorable Thomas W. Bickett, Governor of North Carolina. Sir:—The protection of our forests from fire is generally recognized and urged as a necessary war measure, as well as an essential step towards safeguarding our Nation's future welfare. Owing to the lack of a State appropriation for carrying out the provisions of the forestry law of 1915, education and publicity are prac- tically the only weapons left to the Survey with which to fight this common menace. A report on the destruction to property in this State by forest fires during the past three years, as reported by correspondents in the various townships, together with a sketch of what has been done to combat this evil, should go far in convincing the people of North Carolina that stronger and more effective measures are a vital necessity. I, therefore, submit herewith, for publication as Economic Paper No. 48 of the Reports of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey, a report on the Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1915, 1916, and 1911 , and the Present Status of Forest Fire Prevention in North Carolina.

  • Testing the Origins of the Blue Ridge Escarpment
    Testing the Origins of the Blue Ridge Escarpment Gregory C. Bank Master’s Thesis - Defended July 27, 2001 Dept. of Geological Sciences, Virginia Tech advisor: Dr. James Spotila Committee members: Dr. David Harbor, Bill Henika, Dr. W. Lee Daniels TESTING THE ORIGINS OF THE BLUE RIDGE ESCARPMENT Gregory C. Bank Abstract Long, linear, high-relief escarpments mark many of the world’s passive margins. These Great Escarpments have been interpreted to be the result of isostatic flexure, parallel slope retreat, and divide migration which accompanies rifting. It is unclear whether all these escarpments share this origin. Also uncertain is whether these features are formed via stable, steady-state processes or by climatic shifts or tectonic rejuvenation. The Blue Ridge Escarpment, eastern North America’s great escarpment, is no different. A number of hypotheses attempt to explain the Blue Ridge Escarpment. These include lithologic variation between Blue Ridge and Piedmont rocks, the distance to ultimate base level, as well as, escarpment retreat resulting from post/syn-rift warping or faulting. We approach this problem from two directions. The first involves topographic comparisons and geologic observations to recognize and track divide migration. The second approach uses U-Th/He thermochronometry along two scarp-normal transects. Topographic analysis used data extracted from DEMs to compare three zones – the Upland, the Piedmont and the scarp zone itself. Parameters such as relief, drainage density, hypsometry, and slope are often used as proxies for relative erosion rates and the degree of maturity of a landscape. Results from these analyses indicate that the Upland and Piedmont zones are distinct landscapes, sharing very few topographic similarities, yet neither appears significantly more erodible than the other.

  • Ecology and Behavior of the Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus Horridus) in the Upper Piedmont of North Carolina: Identified Threats and Conservation Recommendations
    ECOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR OF THE TIMBER RATTLESNAKE (CROTALUS HORRIDUS) IN THE UPPER PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA: IDENTIFIED THREATS AND CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS JOHN B. SEALY ABSTRACT: A disjunct population of the Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) was studied in the Sauratown Mountains, an upper Piedmont monadnock in north-central North Carolina. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this population is declining. A field study was thus initiated to examine the reproductive ecology, spatial requirements, and possible causes of the population decline in state parks that represent habitat islands surrounded by a fragmented landscape intersected with roads. Of snakes examined (n = 96), ten were implanted with radio transmitters and radio tracked, five for multiple seasons. Mass of pregnant females (n = 11) suggests that a minimum of 500 g is necessary for reproduction. Snakes hibernated as singles or small groups at elevations from 466 to 655 m. Non-random movements, stable home ranges, and site fidelity were observed in telemetered snakes. Males had larger home ranges and on average moved greater distances and more often than females. Disproportionate male mortality is a significant cause of population decline, causing a skew in the sex ratio (Male:Female, 1:3.7). Our observations show that humans may negatively impact pregnant females and their habitat. Management response to nuisance snakes was examined, and subsequently changed at Hanging Rock State Park. Short-distance translocation (n = 31), for example, was determined to be 100% effective in managing nuisance rattlesnakes. Management recommendations include public education as to the presence and protected status of C. horridus in North Carolina state parks, termination of long-distance translocation as a conservation management practice, and restriction of access to sites occupied by pregnant females.

  • The Sauratown Mountains—MST Segment 7
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 4/4/2018 A horse grazes below Pilot Mountain. Photo by Sharon McCarthy The Sauratown Mountains—MST Segment 7 PILOT MOUNTAIN STATE PARK TO HANGING ROCK STATE PARK By Jim Grode This 36-mile segment, located in Stokes and Surry Counties, encompasses some of the most beautiful areas of North Carolina’s Piedmont. It runs en- tirely along the Sauratown Mountains, an isolated remnant of the ancient Appalachian Mountains. This range is also sometimes called “the moun- tains away from the mountains.” Segment 7 begins in the west at Pilot Mountain State Park. Pilot Mountain is a quartzite monadnock, or isolated mountain. Known to the Saura people Segment 7 | 2 as Jomeokee—the “Great Guide”—Pilot Mountain rises to 2,421 feet and is capped by vertical cliff walls rising to a forested dome known as Big Pinnacle. Big Pinnacle is closed to all public access for ecological and safety reasons; the trail loops around the northwest of the peak. “The Pilot” has served as a navigational landmark for centuries, and even today it is a near-constant presence throughout Segment 7 and the surrounding countryside. East of Pilot Mountain, the MST joins the Sauratown Trail, one of the earliest long-distance trails in the state. Winding through farmland, for- ests, and country roads, this trail skirts the northern flank of Sauratown Mountain. The trail is unusual in that it is mostly on private lands, and is open to trail users through the generosity of many individual landowners. As you hike the trail, please be respectful.
